The yellowing of paper refers to the gradual discoloration of paper over time, resulting in a yellow or brownish tint. This phenomenon is primarily caused by the chemical degradation of cellulose fibers in the paper due to exposure to light, air, humidity, and pollutants. Additionally, acidic components within the paper itself or from external sources can accelerate the yellowing process. Factors such as poor storage conditions, including high temperatures and humidity levels, can further contribute to paper yellowing. Preservation techniques such as proper storage in controlled environments and archival-grade materials can help mitigate yellowing and preserve paper documents and artworks.
